<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was planning to post this pre-Christmas to tell you about<b> <a href="http://www.manusmenu.com/">Manu's Menu</a> </b>and her wonderful <a href="http://www.manusmenu.com/books/manus-menu-christmas-menus"><b>recipe menus</b></a> to inspire some beautiful cooking over the festive period. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But alas we had home internet dramas so no posts from me, but really there is nothing lost as her recipes are perfect for any occasion!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In fact my sausages were completely inspired by Manu's recipe for Cotechino en Croute.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To be honest I didn't even know what cotechino is but Manu has perfect step-by-step recipes with photos that make cooking any of her recipes possible.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I decided to instead of using fancy Italian sausage (sorry Manu!) to use some beautiful maple bacon sausages from the farmers market.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">These were really a simple concept that makes a sausage taste super delicious.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I browned my sausages then wrapped in some short crust pastry.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">By cutting slits in puff pastry you can create a design to stretch over the pastry wrapped sausage.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the first of the recipes I have recreated at home is the duck, lychee and watermelon salad.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is such a beautiful recipe using fresh ingredients, and can be done in a short period of time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not so sure how well received it would be if I cooked it for my family at Christmas as they don't usually eat duck, but if I could convince them to try.....it would be love at first bite.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Would your family like duck for christmas?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What I particularly like about this recipe is the addition of palm sugar praline, you smash into the dressing after you puree the base ingredients (garlic, ginger, eschallot, coriander roots, and chilli).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took the dressing to another level, along with much lime juice balanced with fish sauce.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The duck component is breast simply seasoned with pepper and fish sauce, then pan fried skin side down for crispiness and then cooked on the other side. The resting of the duck after cooking is so important.</span></div>

I love baking tarts and have been longing to try the famous Bourke Street Bakery ones, but hey the next best thing is to bake it yourself, right?</div>

Really baking a tart is a simple thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just start with the pastry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have though discovered, that somewhere along the way I became really bad at following recipes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not follow the recipe strictly, I used icing sugar instead of caster and I added an egg yolk to my pastry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At the farmers markets last week I spotted these cute little citrus - cumquats. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The seller asked me to try one, just pop it straight in, skin and all. Well I did and wow what an explosion of flavour from quite a tart start to a beautiful sweet and sour finish.</span></div>

I really don't like to clean which isn't a good thing when I love to cook. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do the basics all the time but my oven very rarely, one because I hate the fumes from oven cleaners and two, it requires you to <i>turn off</i> your oven...</div>

So when the lovely people from <a href="http://www.ovenexpress.com.au/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Oven Express</span> </a>offered to clean it for me I was overjoyed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they use eco-friendly non harmful-methods which mean it doesn't smell and you can use your oven straight away- how good is that?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Miss E recently did another holiday class at <a href="http://www.brasseriebread.com.au/baking-classes/default.aspx">Brasserie Bread</a> and came home with some delicious roasted vegetable focaccia. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was an absolute winner and will be baked many times to come.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The recipe/method for the bread can be found at <a href="http://crunchytiger.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/brasserie-breads-schiacciata-con-luva/">Crunchy Tiger</a>.</div>

When I signed up for <a href="http://www.thesweetswap.com/">The Sweet Swap</a> I was conjuring up in my mind incredible sweet creations reminiscent of my childhood reading the fantasy world of The Magic Faraway Tree...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted shortbread, toffee, chocolate, honeycomb, meringue....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the week of baking began and somehow I just started creating as I went along - hence my Chocolate Honeycomb Snaps were born - and wow I was not disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These little bites of deliciousness are crispy, sweet, salty and leave you wanting more.</div>
